Dorothy with Cassidy Shooster
the price was right. You can keep a dedicated shopper cooped up for just so many days and then they have to shop. Wendy got me a wheel- chair at the store and I went shopping. It was Herman’s 83rd birthday the day I came home. He got a beautiful jacket from Stein Mart from me. Everyone came over and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. It was a happy day for me as well. I remember in high school speaking with Papa and Nana in regards to college plans from what to study to where to go. The constant response was “mentsch tracht Gott lacht” or “ you plan and G-d laughs.” Turned out to be the case. Who knew I’d be headed to William and Mary in Virginia.
Although finding it difficult to travel, Papa and Nana both visited twice at the College. The first time Nana was seriously sick but she did make it up the stairs to my dorm room on the third floor. The second time was more joyous - my graduation. I was so happy to show them that I worked hard and graduated. I’m not sure if it meant more to them than me. Either way we aren’t competing. - Joe Leuchter
